Hotfudge, I'm sure ED pays taxes. But, apparently he said on the live feeds that he takes money and doesn't pay the tax on it. I've heard this is common among people in his profession but if he's going to say this openly he could find himself in trouble. I wish IRS would leave me alone. I report everything and they still audit me and pick up on every single mistake. The last one was the fault of my Accountant but IRS doesn't care whose fault it was. They still make ME pay.

I think if the IRS watches BB they'll believe Dick if he tells them he doesn't make a lot in tips.

Tanith, I believe they would believe him. After all, Dick never lies. He told us so.

One of my best friends has been a long struggling musician. He is blessed in that he came from a family w/money. He generally plays in 4-6 member bands. The typical gig pays $300-500. By the time you pay your sound guy and split it, think about how much is left. And a good week is when they have gigs 3 or 4 nites. Then there are band expenses. Now granted Dick sounds like he does promotion on a larger scale, but it's not a business where you make a fortune. My guess would be he reports very little, because if you report it all there is virtually no way to survive. It's why most musicaians have day jobs and why sadly so many drop out and we're stuck w/DJ's. Anyway, most money in the business is under the table with just a little on the books from what I've seen.

I think I probably would have handled the Dick situation much worse than Jameka. I would have been sorry for it later, and yes, I would ask the Lord to please forgive me.

I thought Dick worked at a Bar as a Bartender..they had the owner of the Bar on Thursday, and he said he's worked there for years. I didn't know he did promotions too...ummm

I thought Dick is a bar manager. Isn't that what he says? Or is it bartender? Is he a promoter now and not in the bar business? Goodness, he's a jack of all trades, isn't he?

No, Klaw, but I've been back and forth. I think I'm going to bed. I'm tired and nothing's really going on. Messalina, I would imagine he bartends and manages the bar. Anyone know the name of this bar? I never heard him say he promotes anything.

Yes, Janie and Nick are still chatting. She made them all dinner and they ate that. Now they are eating pizza. Janie says she likes Dick, Dani, Jane and Zack. Then she did her little Zack Attach chant.

The only thing remotely interesting Klaw & Christiii, is that Zach told Amber as planned with Dick that Dick might use the POV on himself and Amber says.."Whatever..doesn't really matter" lol and he kind of backed off. Here's Tanith's take on what Amber will say later in HOH: "Zach said Dick is using POV on himself. Oh my God, I just can't with him!" LOL!

I think Zach is really liking his new status (or friends) in the house. I wonder how long before he turns on D/D/J

Zach talking about the King Tut thing made me laugh. As a teacher, I relate to the fluff projects and kids feeling ripped off when their classmates get away with them! I have to remember that (some) people carry this stuff with them into adulthood. It's a good reminder for me.

Messalina, revenue canada is just as vicious. Sadly, since I am a dual citizen I file tax returns in both countries.

I think Zach is info gathering when he's hanging out with <77>. He always tells D/D whats being said
